The RIB Group is partnering up with Flex (previously known as Flextronics International Ltd. or Flextronics) to form a joint venture for an international web-based platform for construction project management, linking design to supply and execution.

Its unparalleled global footprint spans 13 industries, each of which contributes to Flex’ revenues in excess of 1 billion USD, 16,000 suppliers in over 100 locations and 30 countries worldwide. Annually, it produces 10,000 new products, employing more than 8,000 supply chain management professionals who manage a material volume of 22 billion USD. It is uniquely positioned in its industry by offering sketch-to-scale solutions.

By entering the joint venture with RIB, Flex now offers its design, engineering, manufacturing and supply chain services and solutions to building and housing companies.
